should address technical, economic, regulatory, policy and operational use of the

Internet/Telecommunication topic that you are researching.

A. At a minimum the paper should include one case study/ practical example and more of these

are helpful.

B. The paper must state a thesis and, based on the research, undertake to prove or disprove

that thesis.

C. The paper should review the recent literature (e.g., the last five years), distill the

fundamental issues, discuss various solutions to the issues raised, identify trends, and

formulate the student's own position. An adequate literature search is based primarily on

academic journals (e.g., Federal Communications Law Journal, IEEE Journals), secondarily on

professional journals (e.g., Journal of Systems Management), and lastly on books and textbooks

and online sources.

(APA Style) are also required for any referenced material.

contents, abstract/executive summary, charts, graphics, tables, appendices and references do

not count toward length minimum.
